The Stairwell

The Stairwell is a psychological horror game in which you inspect the floors of a mysterious building for strange phenomena. On your first day as a security officer, you explore its vast stairwell, choosing whether to go up or down according to what you find.

Inspect the floors

If everything is normal, proceed upstairs. If you spot an anomaly, go downstairs quickly; missing too many anomalies has consequences. There are over 50 anomalies to uncover across all difficulties. After winning a game, you can see how many remain undiscovered, and anomalies you have not yet seen usually appear first.

Difficulties and challenges

You can customize the difficulty of a playthrough. In nightmare mode, the lights are out, and you must search for anomalies in total darkness with a candle. A new Weekly Challenge appears every Friday, offering a variation with different environments and anomalies; your score is recorded on the weekly leaderboard.

Leaderboards

Compete for the fastest completion time and compare your standing with friends. The leaderboard highlights your name in a color based on your ranking, and Weekly Challenge scores appear on a separate weekly leaderboard.
